Abstract: In this paper we consider the problem of characterization of topological spaces that embed into countably compact Hausdorff spaces. We study the separation axioms of subspaces of countably compact Hausdorff spaces and construct an example of a regular separable scattered topological space which cannot be embedded into an Urysohn countably compact topological space but embeds into a Hausdorff countably compact space.

Review text

A space can be embedded in a compact Hausdorff space if and only if it is Tychonoff. In this paper, the authors address the following natural problem: which spaces can be embedded in a countably compact Hausdorff space? They do not obtain a full characterization, but do obtain some quite interesting partial results. For example, if \(X\) is first-countable and can be embedded in a countably compact Hausdorff space, then it is regular. As is shown, first-countability in this result cannot be weaked even to having countable pseudocharacter. It is also shown that in a Lindelöf subspace of a countably compact Hausdorff space, every infinite closed discrete subspace contains an infinite strongly discrete subspace. The paper contains several other results in the same spirit. An example is constructed of a regular first-countable space that cannot be embedded as an open subspace in a Hausdorff countably compact space, nor as a subspace in a Urysohn countably compact space, but \emph{can} be embedded in a Hausdorff totally countably compact space. The dominating number \(\mathfrak d\) plays a role in the construction.
